Solder has tended to go lead-free in recent times. Radio Shack has (or at least they used to) Lead- Free Silver Bearing Solder 96/4 # 64-025 but ti's difficult to work with as the solder joints tend to look "cold" (read: not nice and shiny). So it can make an impatient expert into an amateur. I have a lifetime supply of good old Kester "44" Sn 60 which always gives good results, but I dunno if you can still buy it.

Wire: Monster XP is good, reasonably priced and easily available.

A check with your DMM of the original L-pads may reveal more of the mystery, though you should disconnect them first. A reading between the center lug and one of the other ones should reveal either a very low reading or the maximum value of the L-pad as you turn the knob to the end points. Also look for a resistor added to the L-pad which may affect the circuit impedance. To re-iterate: you stated that the T35B's are marked as 16 Ohms units, but measurements show them to currently be 8 Ohm units. If the L-pads don't match the driver they will actually change the crossover frequency as the knob is turned up or down, and it's difficult to imagine EV designing it this way.
